  • GLES3.UI.Benchmark
  • Vulkan.GpuTimestamp
  • Vulkan.SpatialHashGrid2D

• UI rendering
  • Rewrote the UI rendering code to depend on the new FslGraphics3D.BasicRender.
  • Significant performance improvements.
  • Rendering code support various rendering optimizations that can be toggled at run-time.
  • Updated the custom UI guidelines.
• Android
  • Android apps now support command line arguments. Add the arguments using -e "args" "<arguments>" for example -e "args" "--DensityDpi 160 -vvvv"
• Dependencies:
  • Upgraded to OpenCV 4.5.2

DemoFramework 5.7.1

• Compatible with GCC11
• Fixed G2D dependency issue.
• Fixed android compilation issues.
• Updated to OpenCV 4.5.2
• Added some notes to help people that hit a "access denied" error when trying to run the visual studio cmake project.

DemoFramework 5.7.0

• Python 3.6 or better is now required
• Updated all setup guides.
• Windows and Ubuntu now uses cmake find_package to locate the system OpenCL implementation.
  This removes the the dependency on the deprecated AMD App SDK.
• Samples:
  • New Vulkan sample: Vulkan.GenerateMipMaps
  • New Vulkan sample: Vulkan.ShaderClock sample (VK_KHR_shader_clock)
  • Vulkan samples updated to utilize the new mipmap generation code.
• Build tools:
  • FslBuildCheck.py clang tidy now defaults to use cmake for dependencies. Legacy mode can still be used by adding --legacy.
  • FslBuild on windows now defaults to the cmake visual studio generator.
  • FslBuild now support package flavors.
  • Breaking change FslBuild removed support for dynamic variants.
  • Breaking change FslBuild custom Visual Studio project generator no longer use dynamic variants for the OpenGL ES and OpenVG emulation. This means we no longer generate a the .StartProject.bat file. The user is now responsible calling ConfigureOpenGLESEmu.bat to configure the OpenGL ES emulator before launching the project.. Its recommended to call this right after the prepare.bat file.
• Dependencies:
  • Upgraded FMT to 7.1.
  • Upgraded GLM to 0.9.9
  • Upgraded GLI to master branch snapshot (0c171ee87fcfe35a7e0e0445adef06f92e0b6a91)
  • Upgraded RapidVulkan to 1.2.162

DemoFramework 5.6.2

• Fixed a issue in OpenVX.SoftISP
• Improved the FslSimpleUI document.

DemoFramework 5.6.1

• Fixed a issue in the basic UI theme for 80dpi.
• Updated Doc/FslSimpleUI.md
• Updated KnownIssues.md
• Upgraded the fmt library to 7.x to improve compile time and reduce exe size.
• Latest build tools

DemoFramework 5.6.0

• This release contains breaking changes.
• Recommendations and examples for designing custom UI systems.
  • FslSimpleUI system now follows these best recommendations and comes with a default theme.
  • This includes DPI aware rendering.

  • GLES2, GLES3, Vulkan, UI.PixelPerfect
  • GLES2, GLES3, Vulkan, UI.SmoothScroll
  • GLES2, GLES3, Vulkan, UI.ThemeBasicUI
• Better CMake integration.
  • Release and debug builds now use separate output dirs by default.
  • Better support for CMake generators.
  • CMake + ninja is now the default backend for Ubuntu and Yocto for improved build speed.
  • Ubuntu builds now utilize CMake's find_package support to locate third party dependencies.
• Code modernization with PathView, StringViewLite, NumericCast and Spans.
• Clang tidy + format now requires clang 10.
• Downgraded ninja build system requirement to 1.8.2 from 1.9 for better ubuntu 18.04 compatibility.
• Better display metrics available to all samples.
• Misc: New binary texture atlas format, new bitmap font format with simple kerning.
• NativeBatch upgrades
  • SDF rendering.
  • Pixel perfect bitmap font rendering.
  • New rendering primitives.
• Now require a compiler with proper C++14 constexpr support.
  • This means GCC 5.x and below is not supported.

DemoFramework 5.5.3

• Fixed a issue with packages marked as not supported
• Now using libwayland-egl on some platforms.

DemoFramework 5.5.2

Release 5.5.2

• Fixed a matrix alignment bug in Vulkan.ObjectSelection.
• Added a Matrix3Std140 helper class that matches the Vulkan shader layout for mat3 in std140 layout.

DemoFramework 5.5.1

Release 5.5.1

• Added a known issue for Visual Studio 2019 16.5.x and provided a workaround until its fixed.
• Fixed a crash bug in Vulkan.Bloom and Vulkan.ModelViewer.
• Fixed vulkan DFGraphicsBasic2D so it works without a --Stats overlay.
• T3DStressTest. Fixed shader precision issue (that also exist in 5.4.0 and previous releases).
• Vulkan depth selection no longer picks unwanted depth+stencil formats.
• Workaround for OpenVG reference implementation EGL bug.

• Introduced FSLLOG3 which use the fmt library instead of streams. The fmt library is a implementation of the C++20 std::format.
• Experimental Angle support and compatibility test.
